Course objectives
The aim of the course is to teach students practical skills essential for the development of modern multi-platform (iOS, Android, desktop) applications in Angular framework. The course covers the entire development process from initial idea and conceptual design through incremental development of the prototype up to the actual deployment of the application for each device. Students will work throughout the whole course on the application, the concept of application will be proposed by themselves. Emphasis will be placed on the use of collaboration tools used in the development of real applications and agile approach to development. During the course, each student will present the idea and concept of their application and the application prototype.
Learning outcomes
After finishing this course, student will be able to: - understand the area and technologies of programming multiplatform applications, - use online sources for extending his knowledge in this area and possible also for its application, - design, implement and compile multiplatform application based on its description, - use acquired knowledge and skills in further study and projects.
